    P4 took a dump 2 inches off the ground on take off..

    To tell the truth I’ve NEVER used the auto take off and seldom let it auto land... I have never actually thought about it. May have to try it sometime I guess.

    P4 took a dump 2 inches off the ground on take off..

    Yes, I did have a very slow takeoff on that attempt... I usually do lift off a bit quicker to clear the ground. I have done the slow takeoff before with no issues so never had any thoughts or concerns about it. Your analysis makes perfect sense though and I REALLY appreciate the time and...

    P4 took a dump 2 inches off the ground on take off..

    If you would like to look at it I will send it to you, the only radical events take place in the last 1/10th of a second of the logging, where it pitches. I do see that at this point the change in the OSD.Flystate column where it changes from AssistedTakeoff to GPS_Atti. You are welcome to...

    P4 took a dump 2 inches off the ground on take off..

    Yes, I do have IOS 11.2, and have since it came out. Carbon Fiber/Plastic hybrid blades are aftermarket, been using since April 17 Possible it could be a VPS erroneous sensor signal forcing a correction, I always lift off and hover for a few seconds (usually 5 to 10 ft in the air) before...

    P4 took a dump 2 inches off the ground on take off..

    Was out yesterday morning killing a little time before work and had my P4 in the air for a while using a new iPad Air 2. Was using Litchi on that flight and had it in the air about 15 or so minutes. Returned and exchanged battery and then closed out Litchi and opened Go4 for another flight...

    Longest distance bone stock 31015ft

    My longest flight to date on my stock P4 and stock P4 battery is 36,565 ft and landed with 12% power remaining. I too started out on a Litchi mission and on the return had taken control manually because I noticed the battery draining faster at one point. I had set up the mission as a batched...

    Encounter With Canadian Geese...

    Had an interesting flight yesterday morning... Just a leisurely flight with the video recording and started back and was almost to the landing spot when I heard some geese honking.... was down between some trees when I stopped but they decided to fly between them from behind my drone. Check...

    Is your P4 firmware update GOOD? Post here please!

    My biggest complaint after the update is the video rebooting on the AC while in flight, today I was flying and trying to record some vid and it would reset/reboot every 15 seconds, the longest I've been able to get it to record without interruption was 7 minutes, most of the time it's between...

    P4 Firmware v02.00.0106 Released (2017-07-06)

    I noticed a a fairly pronounced wobble in my hovering also... The video dropping out seems to be random and noticed that once that happens the next video file has a default date and time of 12/31/13 at 2300hs... Once the bird has been turned off and back on that goes back to what the iPad...

    IMU calibration will not work after todays official update

    That's the old calibration procedure, the latest firmware has changed that process DRASTICALLY.

    P4 Video recording all but useless

    Since updating to the latest P4 firmware I decided to try it out a couple days later and flew a short 4 POI Litchi mission in a local cemetery that I frequently fly from. The bird started up and once in the air the Litchi video autostarted and I started the mission. About the time it got to...

    P4 Firmware v02.00.0106 Released (2017-07-06)

    I noticed that with mine this morning also.... Started the motors and lifted to about 10 feet in the air and noticed that it started a "Wobble".. nothing real bad but each of the 4 motor points in a circular fashion would drop independently of the rest to give it a wobble look almost like an...

    P4 Firmware v02.00.0106 Released (2017-07-06)

    I am having the exact same issue... Bird updated fine thru assistant, the RC is showing current version no update available thru the Go app, and the connect light on the RC is very rapidly flashing red/green (like it's downloading and updating the firmware) The RC when connected to the Go app...
